"Why don't you move? Is the security too tight?"

The voice of the man who called himself a gentleman of thieves came from the first button on the collar of the boy's shirt. The boy replied in a calm voice: "No, it's quite the opposite. ”

"Oh? does the exact opposite mean that there are no guard......s? This kind of opening the door to welcome customers is not unexpected. ”

The thief's voice grew lower, as if he was muttering halfway from the other side of nowhere.

"But is this a trust in the temporary worker or a contempt for our executor? But there is always a little bit of discomfort in my heart. But this is my own opinion, you shouldn't be affected, right?"

"Hmm. ”

The teenager replied with an indifference that did not fit his age.

"I'm off. ”

The amber pupils seemed to fade from their temperature in an instant, as cold as if they had just been dug out of the ice that had been sleeping in the polar regions. The boy's figure blurred in the air with the afterglow of the scorching sun, and then vanished like a shadow that had lost its light.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The train rumbled into the underground platform, and the four of Levi sat in a private car that seemed to be driven just for them. The remaining nine carriages were the same as they were, empty, and even the commander, who was supposed to be in the cab, was nowhere to be seen.

According to Tsuchigomon, he asked the bigwigs above to change the security situation in the 23rd school district. While the 'all leave the 23rd School District' request was not possible, the creation of a partial personnel vacuum was granted. Even the artificial satellite swimming over the school city has been given a temporary order.,So the place where Levi is going is temporarily undefended.。

That's a good thing for anyone. The general population was spared from being affected, the guards who were not strong enough to intervene were spared from being sacrificed, and Lévi was able to act freely in the most relaxed environment. Even the unknown number of thieves who are the target this time will be much easier. But whether this ease of thinking means less pressure to get things done, at least not from Lévy's point of view.

"What's next?

Lévy spoke in a questioning tone, but it was what he really thought. In terms of land area, the 23rd School District is one of the largest in the city. There are large open spaces that are rare in other school districts, and the information from the Tuyumen side says that the "Apostolic Cross" is used in the 23rd school district, but the specific location is not indicated. Finding the few intruders before the night sky is covered with stars is not enough to split them into two groups with Tsuchigomon Kamijo.

"That's all there is to it. ”

Evan glanced at the map on Eve's phone screen, which was almost completely blank and couldn't be called a map at all. Even if she could use her magic at will, searching and probing wasn't what she was good at. If the seal was lifted and she was left to her own devices, the easiest and quickest way that Ewen could think of would be to raze the twenty-third school district to the ground with magic.

"But, Mr. Levy. How are we going to be grouped?"

Mengmeng seems to be curious about everything, and even the endless flat land outside the station glass can be carefully admired for half a day.

"What's there to discuss, four people, each acting on its own. It's not that I'm afraid of not having enough time, it's the most convenient. ”

"No, I can't. ”

As soon as Evan spoke, Lévy immediately objected. He didn't care what kind of eyes the vampire girl, who should now be called a woman, was looking at him, no way, no way, and vetoed Evan's proposal with such a determined expression.

"You two in a group, two of us. ”

Eve, who had been immersed in memorizing the various materials on her phone, looked up. She pointed first at Levi and Evan, then at herself and Mengmeng. She understood that Levi was worried that Evan would be afraid of her bad face and speak out directly, so she took the initiative to propose such a grouping.

Levi has no opinion, since Mengmeng lived in the hut, he is almost the only one who looks forward to Levi, and will not go against the grain at this time. Eve could ignore it as the proposer, and it was useless for Evan to protest alone, and soon the minority obeyed the majority.

After assigning the directions they searched, Eve and Yumemu saw Levi and Evan leave the station.

"I'll go over there. ”

"Huh, aren't we two in a group?"

"No, you don't. ”

Dropping this sentence, Eve's blond-haired figure disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving the pink princess standing alone on the deserted platform.

“…… Why is he so wary of me? Is it the intuition of a so-called killer? No, no, no, Mr. Lévy is also a killer, I guess it is the intuition of a young girl. Golden Darkness...... It seems that you can't be in a hurry. ”

After a silent whisper, on the platform where everyone had left, the pink princess leaped lightly on her legs, and dodged in the other direction at a speed that Eve would have surprised to see.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The improvised group of three teenagers, Uejo, Tsuchimon, and Steele, walked off the subway only a few minutes later than Levi.

Kamijo, like the people who had arrived before, looked around at the eerily empty platform, and he remembered who he had just talked to on his mobile phone.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the School City - Aresta。 Crowley.

The people who can transfer all the guards with just a few words,Who else can there be in the school city except for the most mysterious chairman?

Kamijo didn't have Levy's ears to hear the person on the other end of the phone. However, if you can talk to Tsuchigomon, who is proficient in science and magic, on an equal footing, you can imagine that this person is a very far-reaching place beneath the surface of the world. It was a far-reaching place that Kamijo Dangma, who was an ordinary high school student, couldn't see.

The three teenagers had a brief discussion in a short time. It's said to be a discussion, but in fact, it's just two experts, Tu Yumen and Steele, who are responsible for explaining various issues to layman high school students.

"In short, the time left for us is between 5:35 and 6 or 7 o'clock when the sun goes down completely. It's our boundary, and it's Lidovia's at the same time. Now, no matter how many people try to change their location temporarily, they can't get there within the allotted time. Therefore, the conditions left to her and ours are basically the same. ”

After hearing this, Steele threw the cigarette he was holding into the cylindrical ashtray in the smoking area. In fact, almost all streets of the school city are non-smoking, and the tall priest has violated the rules countless times in a day. Levi is constrained by his status as a teacher, and he can't ignore him like that, and he is subconsciously jealous every time he sees him swallowing clouds.

"Let me make sure first, you want to use this body to stand in front of Lidovia and the killer that the man said about?"

"Huh? I wanted to get some rest. But even if all the guards are transferred and most of the defenses are closed, the 23rd School District is still not a place where you can break through at will. ”

"That's right. ”

Steele didn't seem to care about Tsuchigomon's answer, just like a classmate's boring gossip on the way home. He just wanted to confirm what the other party meant.

"Still,"

Before Steele could react, Tuyumen suddenly changed his words.

"Anyway, isn't that unknown killer dealt with by our collaborators? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was worried that the soles of his upper feet would slip and almost hit the pillars supporting the ceiling. Even the usually calm Steele accidentally bent the other cigarette he had just smoked.

"Ahem, ahem. ”

Taking advantage of the two coughs, Steele secretly stuffed the soon-to-break cigarette back into the cigarette case, and then returned to his usual serious expression.

"When you walk out of this station, you can't go back. Have you come to your senses, and you're going to be hemp?"

Kamijo was silent. On the first day of the Daba Star Festival, too many things happened. The intruding magician, the trick of the enemy, the sight of the familiar falling in front of them one by one, powerless in front of the wounded, and even the people he just met could only curl up and hide in the middle of the battle. The boy gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

“…… Well. ”

Kamijo nodded. He took the first step in the direction of the exit of the station.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The boy sat on the ground with his back against a lamppost.

The asphalt floor is so flat that it's like wiping everything off a piece of paper covered with plants. There were no artificial or non-artificial objects nearby that could block the wind, and the slightly dry air blew on the teenager's face and brought a special smell. It is rarely touched by teenagers, and only the smell of gasoline that is unique to modern metropolises.

The sky is a little dark, but visibility is still good. As long as you look up, you can see a large number of low-flying planes coming and going and the loud noise they make.

Except for the teenager, there was only another figure far behind.

The shadow stretched by the setting sun could be seen to be a woman. In a very slow motion, the shadow owner unloaded the large cross-like object from his shoulder, untying the white cloth wrapped around it.

"Apostolic Cross".

Like a gift unwrapped in confetti, the sharp lower end of the pure white marble cross, which is 150 centimeters long, 70 centimeters wide, and 10 centimeters thick, rests on the ground.

Although the whole body is carved out of heavy rock, it still leaves traces of human touch over the years, and the edges are more rounded. And the person who held the ends of the cross in both hands and lifted it high was none other than Orianna, who had fallen in front of Evan not long ago. Thomson!

"Don't make any more mistakes. ”

Oriana ignored the thin voice in the air, and without hesitation, she slammed the cross she held in both hands down with all her might. With considerable weight combined with speed, and a tip as sharp as a sharpened pencil, the massive cross easily penetrated the asphalt of the surface without much resistance, and was deeply embedded in the earth of the world's most technologically advanced region.

"Mistake? hehehehehe......"

"What are you laughing at?"

A thin voice came again, a thick piece of paper between Oriana's right ear. The paper vibrates slightly in the absence of wind, making sound like the thin diaphragm of the earphones.

"It's okay, big sister, I just feel that I've finally come to this point. Lidovia-Loren Jetty. ”

"Since we first met, haven't I repeatedly asked you not to use your real name as me? It should be said that the main event begins, and you better think about how to deal with it when you meet that woman again. I don't want to ask someone for help in freeing a captive for the second time in a day, especially the man who smells me depraved just by hearing it. ”

"I know, big sister, I won't forget my mission. Even if I am a 'sinner' like me, if I can earn some points here, I may be able to contain those stubborn factions. That way, your position will be a little better. ”

“…… Leave me alone. ”

"Just accept someone's kindness once. ”

"You should be prioritized now compared to me. Do you really have a way to deal with the woman you just mentioned, and her companions?"

"Solution? I can't find a way to let a kindergarten child practice for two hours to win a professional fight, even in heaven, right? Big sister, I'm not exaggerating, compared to that woman, my strength is at most a little better than that kindergarten child. But if it's you, you may be able to walk at most, so you should pay more attention to your own safety. ”

"Don't worry, I'm different from you, and I'm sitting in the hotel lounge right now. ”

"Is there a cup of holy blood in front of you? It's really elegant, big sister, I also seem to be drinking holy blood leisurely in the restaurant, waiting for someone to exercise together. ”

“…… Beware of your obscene words, I've said it no less than ten times. ”

"Huh? Where do you think of it? Are there any restaurants that don't have swimming pools or gyms? Well, Lidovia, you don't think of sexful things, do you?"

“……”

"Hey, is there anyone on the other side of the phone? and you're angry just making a joke, little sister Lidovia?"

“…… How the hell are you going to face that woman, she will go, she will. ”

Oriana did not answer immediately, but placed her hands on the cross in a gesture that was extremely disrespectful to the cultists, and raised her head and eyes straight into the distance.

"Didn't you already help me find a bodyguard? That well-behaved little boy, I could smell his habit of taking the lives of others from so far away. ”

"EXECUTOR NO.XIII, THE TOOTH OF DARKNESS. I don't know anything about the name of the organization, its form, its beliefs, its people, or the real name of the person. I've searched from any source I can reach, and I can't find even a single relevant sentence. It's as if this organization didn't exist yesterday, and it still can't be found today, it's not in this world at all. ”

"You mean, big sister, I shouldn't trust that little boy too much, right?"

"I'm just telling you to be careful. ”

"Yes, you have to be careful. After all, big sister, I can't deal with that woman with white skin like a vampire. ”

"Vampires, do you believe in the existence of that creature?"

"Hey, it's Lidovia's sister yourself who digresses this time, oh, I'm just using a metaphor here, metaphor, understand?"

"In short, be careful, and make your task a priority. ”

"That said......"

Oriana looked at the transport plane streaked across the sky.

“…… Now that things are at this point, the only thing I can say to you is 'do your best'. ”

Orianna re-grasped the cross, which was as white as a deep lady, and began to chant the incantation that fixed the "Apostolic Cross" in a very different tone from her usual speech.

"Transform the sky into a roof, and build a place to settle here. Please grant me the protection of the Holy Twelve. ”

The cross planted in the asphalt pavement moved on its own, as if it had come to life, and slowly adjusted its angle.

Orianna raised her head, the sky hadn't completely turned black, but the first twinkling star had already appeared not far away.

"Next ......"

A magician and a teenager were separated by a distance of three hundred meters on the wide runway of the experimental airport. In this area that is closed to the general public, it looks like two fixed road signs.

"I'm ready on my side. In a few dozen minutes, the world will change a little. ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The twenty-third school district is unfamiliar to most people, and this sentence still applies even to students in School City, and it is even more appropriate for Levi, who has basically only been to a few school districts, and Evan, who has entered for the first time.

"It's disgusting to have such a big open space. ”

Evan, who was leaning on Levy's arms and flickering, couldn't help but whisper.

The same adjective is used in different places and can give people different feelings. Broad, once used in the forest that surrounds the Evan's house, instantly reveals a verdant color that represents vitality, although it is not far from the feeling of a vampire. If there is an eerie mystery that matches the word vampire, the land in front of you is indeed more appropriate than the black and gray land.

But Evan didn't like it, she hated this land where her skin couldn't touch any breath of life.

It's not a good place to go on a date - the vampire girl who turned into an adult with illusion gives a fair assessment of District 23 in her heart.

"Well, I don't like this place either,"

Lévy tightened his left hand around his slender waist, not his usual hand with chopsticks and a gun, but his usual hand since the day he was born. Only by holding this hand around the person in his arms can he feel at ease.

"So call it a day as soon as possible. ”

The embracing figures appeared and disappeared in fits and pieces like images of lost frames, rising at frightening speeds above the few buildings in the 23rd School District and reaching the height of skyscrapers.

"See the target?"

The so-called ascending and looking far, although Levi does not have the ability to fly as easily as Eve and Mengmeng. Moving with almost no gaps, he was still able to stay in the air.

"Don't you have eyes yourself?"

"I thought cats had better eyes. ”

Levy's words were naturally exchanged for a few soft fists, and when there were no outsiders, Evan didn't actually hate small jokes.

"I can't even see a staff member, it's fully automated, and there's not a single guard, and that kid named Tuyumen is quite capable. ”

"Whatever he's capable of, at least it's more convenient for us now. ”

"It's also more convenient for the other party. ”

It doesn't matter, but doesn't it mean that the "Apostolic Cross" can only be used in a specific precise place. There's not much time left until launch, so at least you don't have to worry about playing hide and seek after you find it. ”

"These are your questions, I'm here to see the play. ”

Evan was a special being who had lived several times the lives of ordinary people, how could she not understand what Levi meant? From the time when he insisted that he couldn't act separately and had to be in a group with himself, Evan knew that he would not have a chance to make a move in the next action.

Leave everything to your own knights, and it's not bad to try it once in a while. Evan fell from the sky with Levi, but the two who continued to move forward did not know that as long as the position they observed was a few dozen meters higher, they could see three teenagers trying to break into the darkness near the distant horizon.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

"Hey, what are we going to do, meow, are we going to stop in this race?"

Under the leisurely expression of Tsuchiyomon Motoharu, his nervousness was no less than that of Kamijo Dangma, who clenched his fists beside him.

It had been five minutes since the two of them and Steele arrived at their current location. For five minutes, there was no progress other than standing still and moving. At the end of the day, there's a lot of credit for Levy. If it weren't for his words before leaving, the anxious young man Kamijo would have rushed out desperately. Now that even the boldest Steele was holding back, it had to be said that Levy's words had made them cautious.

Moreover, the young man sitting on the ground not far in front of them did make them hesitate with the aura emanating from his body. It was an indescribable feeling, and it was clear that the short-haired and thin figure was close in front of me, but it seemed as if it would disappear in a blink of an eye.

Ominous breath, the most vocal in terms of bad luck made such an assessment.

But strangely, the boy didn't seem to care about the arrival of the three of them. It was already incomprehensible to Shangjo that he didn't attack as soon as they met, so he chose to say a few words tentatively. As a result, as the teenager initially behaved, there was no response. It's like I didn't hear Kamijo's voice at all, and I didn't even know that this person existed.

It would be easier if the other party showed his fangs at the beginning, but now that he looks like this, even Tuyumen and Steele have nothing to do, not to mention Shangjo, who is purely a layman.

"I'd like to say if he's just going to be here...... Impossible, right?"

"Nonsense, isn't the twenty-third school district off-limits. And the appearance of this teenager is exactly what the man described. ”

Steele threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stepped on it hard, and the irritability in his heart was definitely no less than that of the other two people present.

"Wait......"

Tuyumen beckoned the two companions not to quarrel yet.

"The appearance of this young man, could it mean that it doesn't matter if we let us in?"

"You say...... Go in?"

As far as the eye can see, there are only sporadic buildings that are dwarf by the earth.

and the eerie darkness behind the boy.

"That's right, according to my guess, that black mist should be some kind of magical enchantment, probably something as simple as blocking the breath and blocking the view. ”

To this day, Tsuchigomon refuses to take off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. It was already quite dark, and Kamijo thought to himself that if he had changed himself, he would not be able to see anything in the distance even without the unnatural black fog.

"According to you, this boy didn't take us seriously, did he?"

"Even if the three of us go in, we can't do anything, and I can't think of anything else he means. ”

Hearing Dommon's affirmative answer, Steele laughed self-deprecatingly. Once upon a time, he was also a profound magician in the English Puritanism, otherwise how could he have assigned such an important overseas mission to him? But after coming to the school city, he almost never encountered a smooth thing.

When he first arrived, he was defeated by a layman boy named Uejo Damma, and suffered various setbacks in his subsequent missions. Now it has developed to the point that even the opponent seems to disdain himself. Steele lit another cigarette, and the slowly drifting green smoke dispelled his thoughts.

"Then let's give it a try. ”

As he spoke, Steele took out a rune card, recited two words silently in his mouth, and then slammed the red sword composed of hot flames in his hand.

"Are you ready?"

"Alas, ready...... What do you say?"

Uejo's spirit is still focused on the boy, and he is a little confused by the sudden decision of the two companions around him. He stared at the flaming sword in Steele's hand, thinking he couldn't help but strike.

"One, two, three--rush!"

The earth gate dragged the upper strip outside the situation, and Steele, who was holding the flame sword, was on guard, and the three of them did not leave the young man, so they took a big stride and ran forward desperately.

Until they crashed headlong into the thick black mist, the young man sitting with his back against the lamppost still hadn't opened his amber eyes.

Tsuchigomon's guess wasn't entirely correct. The teenager wasn't targeting the three of them. This sentence is just like the literal meaning, there is no contempt or contempt for it. The work of blocking people in the school city and religious circles is not included in his scope of responsibility.

The boy sat quietly and adjusted his whole body to the optimum. He was just waiting for someone, or that person and his companions.

When that person arrives, the statue of silence will turn into the teeth of a poisonous tongue, glowing with a chilling white light in the darkness.

"You're here. ”

The boy raised his head and slowly stood up from the lamppost he was leaning on. It was two minutes after the three of them broke into the black fog. I have to sigh at the wonder of fate, a temporary companion who has a similar goal in the same area, and misses the time when it disappears just by yawning during class.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Lévy let go of the hand that was holding Evan's waist and motioned for her to step back slightly. Maybe it was because she had heard Eve and Mengmeng's description, or maybe she felt something, but the vampire girl, who had been obedient enough times in the past, obediently turned around and walked away without saying a word.

"Yes, re-introduction, Body-Eater Serpent Executor NO.XIII, Dark Fang, Joshua Asterre. ”

"JOSHUA AND ASTRAY? ”

"Haven't you heard?"

"Of course, you've only given that code name before, right?"

Lévy lied. Only Evan, who was very familiar with him, could see the unnaturalness of the moment when he heard the boy's name.

"The area behind you is some kind of magical enchantment, right? Someone has already entered it?"

"Yes. ”

I didn't expect an answer, but the boy was surprisingly honest. As soon as he arrived, Levi felt a palpable remnant of his magic. Even if you change to someone who is not so sensitive in perception, Steele's flame sword, which has a very good momentum, is obvious enough. Since the three teenagers had been here, and there were no signs of the battle at the moment, Lévy could not find a better explanation than that the young man who called himself Joshua had spared them. Kamijo, Tsuchigomon, and Steele, no matter who they are, don't seem to be personalities who will run away, and Levy's previous reminder is really just a reminder.

"And who are the three of them waiting in there? Let me guess...... Orianna Townsend?"

"That's right. ”

"Oh, then we'll have more time. No matter how bad those three boys are, they won't be solved by Oriana all at once, and if they cooperate well, they may be able to win. ”

Someone once said that duplicity is the prerogative of adults, and Lévy is now well vindicated by that. The words in his mouth sounded very relieved to the three of them, but the speed of the attack was not slow at all, it was not even half a second to wait, and the enemy who was blocking the way was eliminated as soon as possible!

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Levi kicked the ground hard, rushing forward like a cheetah, but suddenly disappeared after rushing four or five meters.

This is a tactic that takes advantage of the person's conditioned reflexes in an emergency. When Joshua saw Lévy's sudden attack, he subconsciously clenched his blades and focused on the path he was taking, only to remember the other party's ability to travel through space when the figure disappeared into thin air.

It was too late to turn back, and a hot energy bullet slammed into Joshua's back, sending his skinny body flying away!

Good adaptability.

I don't know when I sat on a lamppost and gave the boy a score in this best viewing position. On the surface, the boy suffered a surprise attack, but in fact, Evan knew very well that Levi could not have enough magic power to defeat the enemy with one blow in such a sudden situation. You must know that time is the fairest, although the teenager was not prepared in time due to a sudden encounter, how well could Levi prepare for an impromptu sneak attack?

The boy took advantage of the aftermath of the explosion to escape to safety, which was the right choice for Evan. It's just that Levi's speed is far from being comparable to that of ordinary people, and what will he do next? The vampire girl, who has turned into an adult body with illusions, raises her legs as if to emphasize her slenderness, and poses as if she is watching a play.

She had lost all her magical power, and she couldn't break through the black fog barrier that the boy was guarding. Evan, who was able to easily defeat the powerful magician Oriana, was not as good as the young priest who was injured by the plot. She had no other way but to wait for Levy's victory.

"It's fast, I don't know how you got it at such a young age. However, "

Levi appeared to the left of the boy with his trademark teleportation, and by the time the boy found it, the black muzzle of the gun had already glowed white.

"Not fast enough!"

Although the blue-white arc is weak, it is not comparable to the power of ordinary energy bullets. Joshua's body seemed to be completely unrestrained by inertia, and without seeing how to borrow strength, he stopped the inverted flying posture out of thin air and turned around.

After narrowly avoiding the bullets, he didn't bother to care about the exploding asphalt splinters cutting his cheek. Being ahead of the curve means being beaten, and that's true most of the time. One after another of the energy bombs that followed so that Joshua didn't dare to stop moving, he barely had time to think, and the attack without any dead ends after refraction through space made him suddenly fall into a crisis!

The lightning-fast energy bomb didn't go away for a moment, and it blew up the asphalt road that was so smooth that Evan hated that it was riddled with holes. Potholes and irregularities in the terrain should have prevented running on the ground, but Joshua was clearly not one of them. Compared with the asphalt road that was like the ice before, the extra potholes now have become a more flexible point of use for him. His swift running and agile bounce are not reminiscent of words like lightness, and his figure, which has completely escaped the scope of ordinary people's visual capture, becomes more and more mysterious.

The boy has been suppressed since the beginning of the war, and he has not even fought back. Klevi's mood didn't relax any way. Like the venomous fangs of the young man, Lévi always felt that there was more power buried in that thin body. A snake without poisonous fangs is not fatal even if it is swift.

Lévi didn't believe Joshua, the name he seemed to have heard, but he looked exhausted now.

What's more, the teenager is not tired at all.

The boy shuttled through the dense net of bullets, but his body was not wet like a downpour. Aside from the initial sneak attack, Lévy's non-stop attacks didn't add any new wounds to the boy.

Is it going to evolve into a contest of patience?

Lévy had no doubt that if he used all his strength, he could take the boy's life with a single electromagnetic gun. This can be guessed from the bloodshot wound on his back.

But Lévy didn't dare.

He didn't dare to go all out.

What if the other party hides their sharp fangs and waits for the moment when they think victory has come?

This battle was different from previous encounters. By his side at the time was Eve, the golden darkness that could escape with her changeable tactics and flying abilities even if she was defeated. But now behind Levi is Evan, who has lost his magic power and can only use his delicate body to drive fists.

The reason why Evan was able to defeat Oriana easily was more due to his combat experience that was far beyond ordinary people and the magic barrier that could be regarded as an absolute defense for ordinary magicians. If it were an opponent like Longdao who didn't rely on magic alone and was physically superior, Levi couldn't imagine how he could win in Evan's current state.

"You're not using all your strength, are you?

On the surface, there was no trace of Levy's anxious look. In fact, he was very worried about the three teenagers who were trapped in the black fog. Uejo had known each other for a long time, and Tsuchigomon and Steele were just children, and Levy, who had been a teacher for too long, could hardly let him see people of the same age as his students get injured or even die.

"You're really not his ......"

"What?"

The sound of the energy bombs exploding one after another was enough to pierce the eardrums of ordinary people, and the young man's low voice was so small that Levi couldn't hear his words clearly.

"Well, it's me who has too much heart. ”

Joshua stood to his feet, his twin swords crossed in front of his chest and quickly swung off a few energy bullets. Seeing that he was finally starting to respond positively, Levi stopped throwing bullets aimlessly.

"You ......"

As soon as the first word of Levy's sentence came out, this time it was his turn to be attacked.

Joshua suddenly disappeared from where he was standing, without any preparation, so sudden and so fast that even Lévy's eyes could not catch it.

"Oh, so fast. ”

Evan sat up straight on the lamppost, and in her eyes she saw the two facing each other at a distance, the boy disappearing silently, and then a crisp metallic pop came from the gun that Levi was holding.

Second, third, fourth......

A series of dense pops finally converged into a long sound, and the speed of the boy's attack was so fast that Levi could only stand still and keep blocking with the barrel of his gun.

The high speed that cannot be observed by the naked eye and the fact that it is very good at concealing breath. If it was just speculation before, now Levi can be sure that this teenager who calls himself Joshua is definitely a killer!

Wouldn't it be a waste of such a superb skill to not be a killer? The fact that such an interesting association can be made in the heat of battle shows that Levi is not as embarrassed as he seems from the outside.

Although the boy was faster than he could catch up with, except for the occasional moment of tossing and turning, the boy disappeared completely into thin air in Lévy's eyes. Moreover, the boy's concealment ability, which is comparable to Eve's, except for the power and murderous aura that attacks in an instant, cannot capture the trajectory of his actions through perception at all.

But that's enough. The cold murderous aura that gushed out at the moment before drawing the knife was enough for Levi to make an accurate judgment.

Levi is a master of using guns, which means that medium and long range is what he is good at. Almost everyone who hasn't fought with him thinks so. This includes those assassination targets in the past who received important information and made targeted arrangements early. But as a result, without exception, they all died.

The traps didn't work, and the deliberately narrow space didn't have the desired effect on the gunners who were supposed to be good at medium and long range combat. The dead couldn't speak, they couldn't tell how wrong it was to assume that the gunman was not good at melee.

Now, Joshua is coming to appreciate this fact.

Joshua was fast. It's not just the speed of running, it's the time it takes to move from drawing a knife to slashing or slashing, even with the latest sports speedometers on the market. Ordinary people will never be able to reach such a speed, and even magicians who have blessed all kinds of magic can only wait for the cold wind to flash and then accept the fate of death. Many of Joshua's previous targets were unclear even when their bodies became cold, but they didn't know what had happened to them.

But it was such a swift and fierce attack, and the blade that sealed the throat with a knife has not been stained with half a drop of blood so far.

The opponent's blocking moves are the same as his, and there is no sign at all. The man seemed to be standing in a daze, and at the moment of Joshua's attack, he found that the black spear body inexplicably appeared in the path of the twin blades, as if it had been waiting quietly.
